Podcasts
My First Million
My First Million is one of my favourite podcasts at the moment. If you enjoy business, entrepreneurship, business ideas then you’ll really enjoy this podcast.
How I Built This
Started listening to this back in 2016 when it first started. A great discussion with founders such as Sara Blakely (Spanx) and Herb Kelleher (Southwest Airlines) on their respective journeys as entrepreneurs. Great lessons on what it is like to build these businesses from the early days right through to the present day.
The Investors Podcast
Another podcast that I have been listening to for many years. An investing podcast with a separate show focusing on Bitcoin. One of my favourites and a great learning resource.
SaaS Resources
I’ve always found SaaS businesses interesting. I’ve collected a number of useful links over the years:
The SaaS CFO – good resource for any finance professional in a SaaS business
Michaela Lehr – I came across some articles written by Michaela Lehr on key SaaS metrics. I good learning resource on MRR, ARR and Churn.
Saas Financial Model – a good starting point for learning how to build a SaaS financial model. Financial models allow you to understand how the key drivers of a business flow through to the three financial statements.
Accounting and Financial Reporting
Behind the Balance Sheet – I enjoy stories about accounting fraud/shenanigans. This is a useful resource if you’re interested in learning about ways in which companies can manipulate information presented in financial statements.
The Footnote Analyst – another good resource on financial reporting with a focus on IFRS. A great learning resource written by two well-known authors.
